"We are now starting our second year of Sonlight and I wholeheartedly wish I had started to look into it sooner," writes Cathy T of Frederic, WI, who homeschools children ages 15, 11 and 3. "After years of struggles and tears for both my children AND myself, I'm finally getting a glimpse of what homeschooling is really meant to be. As a busy homesteading, hobby-farming mother of (soon to be) five, I love that the research has already been done and that everything is laid out for me in one place. But more importantly, my children are truly happily learning, and that thrills me beyond words! Thank you Sonlight, for reviving our schooling experience, which has in turn, revived our home." Leia (3) loves to "read" to 6-month-old Nathan. She's using Core P4/5 as her older sisters study Core 100 and Core E in their second year of Sonlight.

"Sonlight does a great job of encouraging my children to have a firm foundation in Christ and to seek knowledge and wisdom. The curriculum has helped develop their heart for serving Christ and sharing God's love. We love the missionary stories and the time learning from the Bible together. The history is so full and rich, and what we're learning has helped all of us better understand why people believe and do what they do today. Living books really do help our children understand a time period and develop their own writing skills … no comparison to dry textbook education! I love that their heroes are men and women of faith, not some here-today-gone-tomorrow pop star." In their seventh year of Sonlight, Samantha (10, Level F), Karlie (7, Level B) and Brandon (4, Pre-Kindergarten) read their Bibles at a favorite outdoor spot. – Sarah R of Earlham, IA

"Sonlight's comprehensive nature allows us to spend less time worrying and more time wondering. Studying together, we have more time to explore God's creation and have natural conversations about history, geography, science and life. Our children are constantly engaged in literature, and we see them becoming children after God's own heart. I know that each of them will be prepared for whatever comes their way. Sonlight's vast offering of resources never fails to meet our needs. We always know we're getting the highest-quality, Christ-centered educational materials for our family." In their fifth year of Sonlight, Liliana (10, Level F), Leila (7, Level C), Amelia (5, Level A) and William (3) relax with their parents as they encounter ocean creatures with a Sonlight Science book. – Ramona W of Hattiesburg, MS

Why choose a Payment Plan?

If you feel a squeeze on your bank account, Payment Plans can help loosen that grip. They help you get the best curriculum for your children and fit your budget. Payment plans can also help you take advantage of SonlightCares™. When you order a complete package up front (instead of buying it in pieces throughout the year), you get serious perks like free domestic shipping and a 10% discount on everything you buy all year.

You don't pay any more than you would if you paid everything up front. But you still get to celebrate a big Box Dayand have all your curriculum ready to go from day one.

How does it work?

If your order qualifies, you may select a Payment Plan option at check out. You pay only 40% of the total cost of goods at the time of shipment. We then spread out the remaining balance over three additional automatic payments — either one payment a month (for the 3-month plan), one payment every other month (for the 6-month plan), or one payment every third month (for the 9-month plan).

Here is an example of how the plans work for an order of $800.

After you pay the down payment and we ship your order, the remaining balance is split into 3 automatic payments:

For the 3-month plan, your payment is charged to your credit card every month. The first charge comes approximately 30 days (no less than 30 and no more than 40 days) from the shipment date, and then approximately every 30 days thereafter. For example: If you order May 1st, you'll pay the down payment then and automatically make payments at the beginning of June, July, and August.

For the 6-month plan, your payment is charged to your credit card every other month. After your down payment, your next charge comes approximately 60 days (no less than 60 and no more than 70 days) from the shipment date, and then approximately every 60 days thereafter. For example: If you order May 1st, you'll pay the down payment then and automatically make payments at the beginning of July, September and November.

For the 9-month plan, your payment is charged to your credit card every third month. After your down payment, your next charge comes approximately 90 days (no less than 90 and no more than 100 days) from the shipment date, and then approximately every 90 days thereafter. For example: If you order April 1st, you'll pay the down payment then and automatically make payments at the beginning of July, October and December.

We keep you informed along the way, by email, so you'll know exactly what happens when.

“Many years ago, someone gifted me with History / Bible / Literature F and I fell in love with Sonlight. But it was not in our budget to continue. A few years back, you started the payment plan, and this is what made it possible for us.

This is our 16th year, and I own tons of other resources. But when we ordered level D, I was so hooked. WOW! Now I look forward to it every day. Oh, the stories! And how engrossed we become in them! I have mapped out the rest of the kids' years with Sonlight and am excited about what is yet to come. I am so thankful for Sonlight and for the payment options.”

Notes (a.k.a. "the fine print")

If your order totals $499 or more, you may qualify for a payment plan until the posted expiration date listed in the table above. The 6- and 9-month payment plans are available for All-Subjects Packages or orders of $799 or more year-round.

To Qualify:

We will submit a Credit Check via Transunion on your account. (Please note: Submitting a credit check may cause your credit score to change just by virtue of the credit check. If you are unwilling for us to complete a credit check, do NOT complete the Payment Plan request.) To learn how an inquiry may or may not impact your credit score, please refer to www.myfico.com/crediteducation

Qualification for a Payment Plan is dependent on successfully obtaining a credit score that meets or exceeds the credit threshold we have established. Your credit score is based on information about your credit experiences, such as your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and other criteria. Please Note: In order to offer these terms, we cannot make exceptions for Payment Plans if credit scores we receive do not meet the credit threshold we have established. We regret we are unable to make exceptions and do understand that your circumstances may be unusual or difficult. However, in order to be consistent and ensure compliance with credit terms and conditions, we will make no exceptions.

Payment Plans are offered for United States and Canada orders only.

If your credit card declines on three separate installments during your Payment Plan, we will not be able to offer a new Payment Plan until 12 months after your final payment is received.

Limit: one Payment Plan at a time per customer.
